If I were asked what my perfect salad is, this would be it. I combined all my favourite salads into one to bring you The Crave List salad. It's gorgeous, nutrient packed and fulfilling.
This is also prepped in a way to lure in those who don't eat salads or those who say "salads are boring", I'm here to prove you wrong and hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

- Heat a skillet with olive oil. Transfer cheese immediately to skillet and cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and continue cooking till the cheese is coated with a golden crisp. Set aside.
